mom
I miss you with all my heart. You made me who I am today.
for a long time it was me and you against the world. I feel numb and keep thinking when I wake up everything will be back to the way it was but I know that is not going to happen. You are and will always be the wind beneath my wings. I love you and hopefully will see you soon in my dream

There are no words to describe how much you mean to me. You will be missed by everyone so much but we all know you're in a better place now, you're not suffering anymore and I know that you'll be watching me along with everyone else to know that I will become the doctor in the family. I love you and I'll see you later nana

John, Jo-Anne, Lisa and Families,

If ever there was a smile that could match that of my dear Mom, Alma, it's your beloved Mom, Theresa. May you have as much comfort as I do knowing those two VERY special ladies will be together in Heaven.

And then there is our gone all too soon, Jessica, whose 2005 newspaper notice, I just found a few days ago in a keepsake drawer in my parent's house. It must have been a message from all of those above that Jess is in GRAND company.....

Hopefully, the comfort of family and friends help you to endure this latest loss until we are all united again.

A lovely lady in life shall shine as brightly in the next heavenly locale.

With Sincere Sympathy and Love,
Janice, Tony and Michael
